Great Shack
Wanted to wait until I had a few seasons with this . First time I used it last year a hub broke. Was still able to use it for the rest of the season . Called customer support and they sent me a new hub free of charge . Replaced it and realized I lost one of the fiberglass rods . No problem , just called customer support and ordered a new one as well as spares and a spare hub . $27 shipped . GREAT customer service .As far as function , it has been outstanding. Have used it in sub zero weather with a Big Buddy heater on low and was plenty warm . Some have complained of condensation , but the simple cure is open vents and keeping one door half unzipped . After doing that I have never had an issue with condensation .One thing that I found worked for me with this shack is that I use the ice anchors on the 4 points where you pull out the sides . Instead of rope to tie it down , I use bungee cords . In the high winds the bungees have a little give and allow a little flex that a solid line will not give you . Also a quicker setup. As is I can put this up in 5 min by myself ( I use a drill for the anchors) . and maybe 10 minutes tops tearing down and packing up .In all I would get another if this one ever gives up the ghost . Will stick with uninsulated since I have no plans of sleeping in it and it is plenty warm while out on the ice , even in -15 temps . Was the best xmas present I got last year , and was purchased through Amazon , arriving within a few days of purchase .If you like ice fishing with 2-3 other people , this shack will suit you fine . I would recommend it to anyone going out in a 2-4 person group .

Great product!
Exactly what I was looking for. Spacious 2 man, comfortable 3 man, definitely not a 4 man. At 6′ there is plenty of room to stand. Seems to be well constructed, time will tell. Easy to set up and take down. Would definitely recommend.

Packing it back up was just as easy. It has a Velcro strap to keep it …
We just used this the past weekend for the first time. It went up in less than 5 minutes. My10 year old son and my husband had no trouble getting it up just the two of them. Just unfold it right side up, pull on the sides handles, and it pops up and out. We didn’t use the metal screws to attach it as it was not a windy day, but my husband tried one out anyway and he had not trouble screwing it into the ice. Plenty of windows to let in as much, or as little, light as you want. Packing it back up was just as easy. It has a Velcro strap to keep it rolled up and easily fits back into the high quality carrier that it comes in. Very pleased with this purchase and I would recommend it to anyone who goes ice fishing. Excellent quality and price.

Eskimo Fat Fish
We have the 2 Person Eskimo as well. It tends to stay ‘popped open’ better in wind than this bigger unit. You may need to utilize the anchor ropes provided on the windward side with an ice screw (also provided).On the positive side, the design is great for putting up/down and carrying and storage. The ice screws are of high quality and easy to use. Lots of interior room for 4 comfortably. Can stand up inside to stretch. Window and airflow options/design is well done with replaceable parts if needed.Happy with purchase. We considered the quilted version but don’t think we would have needed it and am happy to not have the extra weight to carry. Unit is plenty windproof.

Fast easy setup and warm inside
Absolutely one of the fastest times to set up this shanny. Total with tied owns into ice 5 min or less. I can’t speak more highly of this 4 did fit snug but 3 fit comfortably with your gear used 6 or 7 times this season. Love the back pack straps to carry as well more room for other things in sled. No issues at all very worth the money. Great product can’t wait to go next year… very wind proof and warm inside

This tent is larger than the one I had previously since the bottom fares out a bit. Three or four can fish inside easily. The quality is good, and seem stitching is strong and it is easy to put up. I have read that some complain about the carrying bag but I found to to be well designed with padded shoulder straps for carrying across the lake. Inside there is a heavy canvas type bag for the 6 ice screws and there are two adjustable straps for holding the tent against the wind. The ice screws are well made and hold the tent well in a string wind. The fibreglass poles are a little thinner than my previous tent but have held up well in numerous outings this winter. The only drawback is the short plastic nibs to cover the tips of the ice screws. I thre these out and bought some foam pipe insulation and cut these into 6 inche pieces. I place the screw tips in these and back in the bag. No changce of leaving these on the ice when packing up.

Fantastic pop up shelter with some exceptions. To be clear I should mention that used this in combination with a wall tent stove to make a winter camping shelter. With that said here are some pros and cons.PROS : very easy to pop up Very sturdy Convenient and portable Compared to a canvas tent it’s well priced and a fraction of the cost. Removable windows really make it easy to control the temperature inside. Great zippers, well constructed.CONS : The stitching around the tent could use improvements. If you don’t seal the the shelter with some type of silicone sealant expect a lot of water to seep through on rainy days. Be mindful of condensation because you really get a lot with this one even if you crack windows open. So bring a rag and be ready to wipe down some.Overall great purchase. Very pleased

Easy up and easy down. Bag has padded straps like a back pack.

Decent quality for the price. People saying they’re having problems with the black cracking on the inside. Reason for that…putting it back in the bag wet…then leaving it to dry like that. Then when opened again…it’s all cracked looking from the inside. Dry the dang things out before putting them in the bag. Simple.

Great to stay out of the elements when ice fishing. Lots of room for 2!
